When you swing on a swing set, do you go higher when you swing faster? What about if you push a door as hard as you can, will it open? What are forces causing this? Newton's laws of motion relate an object's motion to the forces acting on it. In Mrs. Hammack's class, students are studying Newton’s laws of motion. They built their own Newton’s cradles out of hot glue, popsicle sticks, marbles, beads, and string. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What do you do when you need a brain break? GO OUTSIDE! Mrs. Wiley's students played a game where students stood in a circle. One student said a word then the next student had to say the previously stated word and a new word and continue this around the circle. It was fun for the kids to get out of the classroom! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What is Chemistry? In Mrs. Newbury’s High School Physical Science class students got to make mixtures and define their properties as part of an introduction to their semester of Chemistry. They will be ready for High School Chemistry classes! #CPSZEBRPRIDE

For National Assistant Principal's Week we have one more to recognize! Mr. Worthington has been here three years and has done a great job! From helping in the halls, to helping in the classrooms, Mr. Worthington knows how to jump in where needed! We appreciate him so much! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

What do cells look like? Mrs. Boyd's Science classes are learning this- and how to look at them! Students in 6th grade Science class have started the unit on cells. Before looking at cells, the basics must be learned. Students learned the parts of the microscope and how to make a wet mount slide. The picture was taken on an I-phone of the cotton under 100 times magnified! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Is it Newton's Third Law of Motion or Newbury's? Newton's third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. Mrs. Newbury's class learned all about it in class! And the hall! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

🤠GO POKES and GO ZEBRAS🦓 Mrs. Rahn & the WRJH Girl’s’ STEM Club visited OSU last Saturday and toured the Endeavor Engineering Lab along with other labs in OSU’s engineering department. The girls also test flew their unmanned airplane that they built to get ready for the SpeedFest Competition in April. Go Girls! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Our Robotics students got to see (and fly!) drones with our ROTC cadets last Friday! Students were shown how they are made, how to fly them, and what they are used for in the military. What a fun day! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

It was an ARCADE NIGHT in Mrs. Rahn's STEM class! Parents were invited to a night of playing the games their child coded and created in STEM class! Students were challenged with coding their game using Scratch coding and they used a Makey-Makey Circuit board and conductive materials to connect the coding to a physical cardboard game that students built. They were true “makers” using their creativity and knowledge of circuitry to create & build an arcade! Roosa 4th grade & CHS students were also invited to come play! It was so fun! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

If you could design a playground for your elementary school, what would you have on it? Students in Mrs. Styers' class designed a playground for an elementary school using parallelograms and triangles. They had to find the areas needed for each piece of equipment and how much floor covering would be needed for those spaces and how much grass would be left on the rest of the playground. They added gardens and fencing around the perimeters. Finally, they had to draw a blueprint for their playground with the final design. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Shooting Stars POD is making it a "treat" to do the right thing in school! Shooting Stars has a new ticket program. Students can earn tickets by turning in assignments complete and on time, good behavior, extra effort, and Random Acts of Kindness. Mr. Berglund hosts a weekly drawing to win a prize which include “lunch with a teacher”, “teacher's assistant”, “VIP seating”, or a possible “homework exemption”! Those are some great prizes! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
